There was no funeral in Notre Dame today, so we went in for forty-five minutes. After
looking at a stained-glass window, I ran to my dad.
“Did you see what that window said?”
“No.”
I dragged him back to the window and pointed out the truck that read “rican Red Cross” (a.k.a. American Red Cross). The top part of the window showed a French flag and an American flag. Below the window was a plaque which read:
In Memory
Of the dead of the 310th Infantry 78th Division
United States Army who fell in the Great War
1917—1918
And of whom the greater part rest in France
A la Memoire
Des morts du 310th Reciment d’Infanterie 78th Division
De l’Armee Americaine qui tomberent durant
La Grande Guerre en 1917 et 1918
Et dont la plupart reposent en terre Française
On the way home, we stopped at a patisserie and I bought myself the chocolate mousse Louvre. I ate it slowly, savoring every bite, while I read about the Cold War for school. Once that was done, I went back to the living room and sat on the couch in front of the 1,000-piece puzzle. I had filled in all but the largest of the holes earlier, and I had tucked a piece in my pocket so I could definitely put the last piece in. Dad came over and put in a few pieces, and we were eventually left with the one piece missing.
I put it in.
For supper, we went to L’Entract for the third time. We got there at 6:20 p.m. after trying to take a picture like that of the puzzle. They didn’t open for forty minutes. So Mom wandered off to see why all the fire trucks were in the area and I took pictures.
